18:8 For he has been thrown into a net by his feet 1
and he wanders into a mesh. 2
18:9 A trap 3 seizes him by the heel;
a snare 4 grips him.
18:10 A rope is hidden for him 5 on the ground
and a trap for him 6 lies on the path.
18:11 Terrors 7 frighten him on all sides
and dog 8 his every step.
18:12 Calamity is 9 hungry for him, 10
and misfortune is ready at his side. 11
18:13 It eats away parts of his skin; 12
the most terrible death 13 devours his limbs.
18:14 He is dragged from the security of his tent, 14
and marched off 15 to the king 16 of terrors.
18:15 Fire resides in his tent; 17
over his residence burning sulfur is scattered.
18:16 Below his roots dry up,
and his branches wither above.
